Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 492

I worried that Hiram might try to cause trouble for Selena and Brandon, so I decided to

keep an eye out.

“Ugh!” Hiram glared at me as soon as he saw me, his disdain and dislike for me apparent. I didn’t mind, though. I wasn’t about to get into a spat with a kid.

As long as that kid didn’t cross any lines.

“We’re almost there, you should go sit with your mom and not wander around,” I told

Hiram.

Hiram was pretty close to me at that moment, and he leaned in to look at Serena and Brandon. Perhaps he was full from eating earlier, but he let out a burp, and I could smell a faint scent of coke.

I was puzzled for a moment. When did he have coke?

“Hiram, come here, we’re about to land. Stay close to mommy,” Karina called out to Hiram, who obediently went over to sit down. I was still lost in my confusion.

When we finally landed, Karina and Hiram were leading the way while Faith graciously carried Serena and let Neil carry Brandon. I was the only one empty-handed. As we passed the spot where Hiram had eaten earlier, I picked up the discarded bottle and stuffed it into my bag.

After disembarking, a driver was waiting to take us to a booked hotel. We would head out to Heavenly Mountain the next morning.

I thought three rooms would be enough: one for me and the twins, one for Faith, and one for Neil, Karina, and Hiram. But to my surprise, Neil was staying in a room of his own.

Despite Karina’s grim expression, she kept her emotions under control.

The four rooms were all VIP suites, quite comfortable. But taking care of the twins alone was a challenge. Although they were well-behaved, they sometimes demanded to be held, and I couldn’t hold both at the same time.
